I am trying to rename relational fields as per the documentation but I'm getting an error that the "fields" attribute is required. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of rename relational fields cause otherwise annotated fields would have to be used? using v2.29.1

@KJReactor 👋 I didn’t quite get your point. Could you explain with an example?

@Ryan Using the same example given in the doc :

model Post {

id          Int   @default(autoincrement()) @id

author      User  @relation("Post_authorToUser", references: [id])

favoritedBy User? @relation("Post_favoritedByToUser", references: [id])

}

model User {

id              Int    @default(autoincrement()) @id

writtenPost     Post[] @relation("Post_authorToUser")

favoritedPosts  Post[] @relation("Post_favoritedByToUser")

}

Your schema should look like this:

model Post {
  id            Int   @id @default(autoincrement())
  author        User  @relation("Post_authorToUser", references: [id], fields: [userId])
  favoritedBy   User? @relation("Post_favoritedByToUser", references: [id], fields: [favoritedById])
  userId        Int
  favoritedById Int?
}

model User {
  id             Int    @id @default(autoincrement())
  writtenPost    Post[] @relation("Post_authorToUser")
  favoritedPosts Post[] @relation("Post_favoritedByToUser")
}

The reason is that you are pointing to the same model twice via

writtenPost

and

favoritedPosts

so you need to provide the opposite relation with the foreign key twice as well.
